Sodium ion batteries have been under development by the world’s best minds since the mid-1990s, meaning that they’re hardly “unknown tech.”
These people (who have no apparent technology value-add whatsoever) just might make you rich, claiming to help investors turn $5K into $620K! Could happen!
To the meme here from a reader, I reply:
Wow. That’s simply amazing. All 60+ courts and judges that looked into this and found no supporting evidence must have been in Biden’s pockets! Who knew? Quite an accomplishment on the part of ol’ Sleepy Joe.
Fox News must have been out of its mind to have written a $787 million check when it lost the defamation case brought by Dominion Voting Systems for Fox’s easily debunked claims that Dominion’s machines systematically changed votes for Trump to votes for Biden.
Well, you’ve brought this all to light. Well done, my psychotic friend.
Most of us have noticed that driving today is marked with far more discourtesy than it ever was before. A few weeks ago, I thought I’d try to quantify this by counting those who do and do not use turning signals where required by law.
Findings: Overall, about 70% of drivers here in rural Central California use turn signals. This breaks down into about 75% of passenger cars, and about 45% of pickup trucks.
What accounts for this discrepancy? The best I can do here is to offer a guess, and that goes like this:
a) Turn signals help other people far more than they help the driver. The driver knows where he’s going, while the other drivers and pedestrians do not, and need help understanding how to act safely.
b) Pickup trucks are driven by working class Americans, who tend, for reasons I don’t understand, to be Trump supporters.
c) Trump supporters are almost all “anti-woke,” meaning that they have little if any concern for the welfare of others.
d) Disobeying a law that is put in place to help an entire society run better is characteristic of people who couldn’t give a s*** about other people in the first place.

Re: the meme here, the truth is that very few Americans care a whit about either.
The United States has 27 times more gun deaths per capita than the EU, and approximately 450 times more than places like the UK and South Korea. How is this possible?
The most common explanation is gun control laws. For example, Japanese citizens are permitted to own guns, but these weapons are not sold in department stores to any deranged child who wants one.
The woman at left has a different theory, i.e., that the U.S. is singular in the world for its vast indifference to the welfare of one another. If our kids grow up ignorant and mean, that’s someone else’s problem.
Wow, this would be truly disgusting, even if it weren’t on Easter, one of the holiest days of the year for Christians everywhere.
Fortunately, based on polls and attendance at protest rallies, it appears that Americans are tiring of this moronic garbage.
“Do I see how this works?” 
Obviously I see how this works.
I’m just glad to have lived a largely honest life, and never yielded to the pressure to conduct my business dealings anything even remotely like this.
I wish the same for you.
Re: me recent post: What Makes a “Never-Trumper?” my old friend responds: Pretty funny!! Not worth a comment at this point. I’m watching what he’s doing now.
Well, so is the rest of the world.
Trump’s:
• Making enemies of countries that have been allies that go back to the formation of the Union,
• Crashing the stock market,
• Imposing tariffs that most economists say are heading us into a recession (if not a depression),
• Defying the SCOTUS,
• Denying due process to those he wishes to send off to torture prisons outside the country,
…. leaves us all wondering what could possibly be next.
I think the central problem with your argument is the premise that anyone talking against another must have committed harmful acts against him. Caligula, Ivan the Terrible, Mussolini, Stalin, and Pol Pot were all categorically horrible people (aka “anti-social personalities.” I’m fairly certain I did not do anything to hurt them (though I most certainly wish I could have).
An old friend contends that those who contest Trump and his policies must have committed harmful acts against the president.
Here’s another viewpoint on the subject that he may wish to consider: About half of this country, and the vast majority of those in the rest of the developed world, believe, based on what they can observe about his actions and statistics (see left), that Trump is a garden-variety criminal sociopath, aka an “anti-social personality.”
Further, they believe that people who support Trump at this point have what could be called a “low confront of evil” or an “ethics blind spot.” Of course, most “never-Trumpers” put this more coarsely and bluntly, using words like “fools.”
Now, let’s be fair. Isn’t it possible that all this attack against Trump is a “witch-hunt,” in which an innocent and productive member of society was unfairly persecuted? Sure. But how likely is it that four different independent grand juries, composed of people just like you and me, handed down four separate indictments including 91 felony counts, simply because it had become fashionable to hate a former president? We’re to believe that they violated their oath and their personal integrity because it was “the thing to do.” I’m skeptical, to say the least.
Whatever the case, one thing is certain: either Trump supporters or his detractors have been conned, and this country has never experienced anything remotely like this in its past.
I’ve spoken with folks from dozens of countries around the globe on this topic, and here’s what they tell me, almost to a person, “We simply feel sorry for you. We recognize that, throughout history, many world democracies, some tiny, some huge, have gotten swallowed up by ignorance and hate, but we never, in a million years, imagined that this could happen in the United States.”
